Default Need help-Dragtron vs Screaming Eagle AC

I posted this question on another forum and got no response so I thought I would try this well informed group.
As you can see from my sig, I have a stage III motor and am considering a Dragtron II AC because I like the looks of it. I have found a source that converts these carb only AC's to EFI. My question is; is the Dragtron II able to deliver enough air for my motor, or am I better off staying with the SE?
Thanks,
Marsh

With the build that you have, you probably wouldn't FEEL any change at all. You might see a measured increase on a dynomometer.
PS...IMO...I would save the money and just put an SE/ K&N assembly on, unless you have it on already.

I just looked at the Dragtron, because I've never seen one, They don't look too bad. That price seems resonable too. Get it and give us your results.

I can't give you a web-site, but they are in the J&P catalog and listed for carbs.
Here's what they look like.
Thanks for your responses.

Sedluxe, I can't find it either but you can google "Dragtron performance air cleaners" like Marsh did and pull up quite a few pics and vendor sites in your state.

So, is it the opinion of everyone that it will work with my build?
